So, I am wondering if my tiredness and inability to catch up on sleep, despite crashing each night around 9:30, has to do with over training? I am beginning to think I am pushing myself a little too hard. This week I have taken in a bit more easy and it really paid off today.
But first to catch up.....Tuesday evening I drove out to the reservoir and when I got there it was so dark and windy and rainy, that I just drove home and took a bath.
Wednesday I went to the park and did mock boot camp with my friend. We walked/ran to warm up for about 10 minutes. Then we made twenty cards with different stations and then did 45 seconds on, 45 seconds off for 45 minutes. Then we did a few abs and stretched and such. In the afternoon I went to pilates.
Thursday I only did pilates. I really needed some extra rest and it felt great!!! An almost off day!!!
Which leads to today.....I met my friend at 7:30 to run the hills at the park I ran with my sister a few weeks ago. Today was perfect running conditions. Below 70 degrees, cloudy and not crowded. I walk the first hill with my friend, because I needed to warm up. Once I got to the top, though, I ran the WHOLE WAY. I even ran three of the out and backs. I heard that if you run the two big ones it is a 5 mile course. So, I guess I ran 5 miles, minus the first hill. It took about 50 minutes, maybe a shade less. AWESOME!
So, now I am pretty excited for the rest of the training. Maybe I just needed a mini-break. Tomorrow is pump and pilates and golf. Sunday I am riding a long ride with some people from the studio. I am looking forward to that!

Nice job on the hill!
And, yes, five hours a day was probably a bit much. Even at your tender age.
If there are to be any Tri's next year, we need a better training plan. Like maybe any training plan ...
